1 UP Yours hit its stride in 2007, its penultimate year, as a combination of old faces 
and new faces led to a dramatic increase in the show's popularity. Over the year 
1 UP Yours became one the most downloaded gaming podcast, circulating to 
hundreds of thousands of listeners. Even through periods of transition, 1 UP Yours 
remained salient with compelling discussion and tremendous humor.

The traditional 1 UP Yours segments return as the cast examine the games they've

Mitch Gitelman, and news and other amusing moments close out the show.

Trigger Arranged Version - The Brink of Time. 


This Year is not associated with Bandcamp in any way. 



Garnett Lee 

Garnett Lee joined 1 UP as a PC editor in 2002 after working for a time in video 
game retail. The flagship 1 UP podcast became 1 UP Yours in 2006 after it launched 
as a non-descript news show in late 2005. Lee quickly became both a capable host, 
as well as the butt of many jokes for his peers as they mused over his age and his 
radical opinions about video games. Lee left lUPin 2009 and joined Shacknews 
where he started a podcast similar to 1 UP Yours called Weekend Confirmed. 

John Davison 

After an already storied career in video game journalism, John Davison joined Ziff 
Davis in the late 90s. His tenure there saw him switching frequently between 
magazines, where he served as editor for Electronic Gaming Monthly and the 
Official PlayStation Magazine. He then took charge of Ziff Davis' 1UP.com. He was 
the first regular guest on 1 UP Yours and is now lauded for his forward-thinking 
mind. Davison now manages GameSpot. He has effectively retired from 
podcasting. 

Luke Smith 

Luke Smith began his video game career as a writer for news blog Kotaku. He 
moved on to 1 UP in 2006. He appeared on 1 UP Yours immediately and was put in 
charge of news. Smith's razor-like sense of humor and his aggressive and

passionate tone gave him instant appeal among listeners. He led the podcast's 
willingness to openly criticize developers and the industry in a manner not seen 
before in professional gaming podcasts. He left lUPin 2007 to join game 
developer Bungie. 

Shane Bettenhausen 

After writing for various gaming outlets, Shane Bettenhausen began his long term 
as an editor for Electronic Gaming Monthly. His encyclopedic knowledge of video 
games and his apparent intense determination to defend Sony Computer 
Entertainment made him a fan favorite. Fans adored his frankness, and his 
continued denial of his Sony bias. He left 1 UP in 2008, and after several years with 
Ignition Entertainment, joined Sony Computer Entertainment.

Mark MacDonald 

Mark MacDonald joined 1 UP after writing for a variety of other gaming 
publications. He began work on Electronic Gaming Monthly before being moved 
around Ziff Davis, finally managing GameVideos. AJapan aficionado, he handled a 
position as a reliever on 1 UP Yours, filling in when one of the regular cast members 
was unavailable. He left Ziff Davis in 2007, and after a short while was hired by 
Japanese video game localization company 8-4 Ltd., joining former Ziff Davis 
employee John Riccardi.

No to be an a-hole or anything. But adding some cover art and info to the 
ID3 Tags like you did for the first one, would make this even better.

Man, what an a-hole!

Pretty sure that's Larry Hryb (Major Nelson)'s picture in the second spot on 
the bottom row of pictures -- not Mitch Gitelman as the legend suggests.

When the time comes, and it inevitably will, GFW is going to need several 
instalments. That show was just too damn good.

Thank you all for the feedback. Just quickly addressing a few points: 

@danielmeier 

We forgot to tag the MP3 files, but you can find the cover above. Our 
apologies for that and any inconvenience caused. 

With regards to the requests for GFW Radio recaps, we do have plans to

cover that show. The sudden increase in demand over the past few days 
will probably see a release sooner rather than later. In the mean time, 
keep checking the release calender on our blog for more information. 

Please keep the feedback coming, and if you have suggestions regarding 
other shows you'd like us to cover, you can reach us on Twitter or through 
our email (see the 'Contact' link on the sidebar). 

Thanks for listening.

I have to agree with Daniel, the guy pictured in row d, column 2 looks like 
Larry Hyrb (Major Nelson). It is so sad that I know that.
